August 13-24, 2001
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 13th European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information
(ESSLLI'01) takes place at the University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland,
during two weeks in August, from August 13 until 24.
The ESSLLI Summer Schools are organised under the auspices of FoLLI
(http://www.folli.uva.nl), the European Association for Logic, Language
and Information.
The main focus of the Summer School is the interface between linguistics,
logic and computation. Foundational, introductory and advanced courses,
workshops and special events cover a wide variety of topics within six
areas of interest:
* Logic
* Language
* Computation
* Logic and Language
* Logic and Computation
* Language and Computation
The number of courses offered is over 50. Previous summer schools have
been highly successful, attracting around 500 students from Europe and
elsewhere. The school has developed into an important meeting place and
forum for discussion for students, researchers and IT professionals
interested in the interdisciplinary study of Logic, Language and
Information. In addition to courses, workshops and evening lectures, there
will be a Student Session and a social program.

THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
LANGUAGE RESOURCES AND EVALUATION
*********************************************************
Las Palmas, Canary Islands - Spain
Main conference: 29-30-31 MAY 2002
Workshops: 27-28 MAY and 1-2 JUNE 2002
With support of TELEFONICA Foundation (of Spain)
and support sought from the Commission of the EU
and other institutions.
The Third International Conference on Language
Resources and Evaluation is organised by ELRA
in cooperation with other Associations and Consortia,
including ACL, AFNLPA, ALLC, CLASS, COCOSDA,
ORIENTAL COCOSDA, EAFT, EAGLES/ISLE,
ELSNET, ENABLER, EURALEX, FRANCIL, ISCA,
LDC, ONTOWEB, PAROLE, etc., and with major
national and international organisations, including
the Commission of the EU Information Society DG,
DARPA, NSF, and the Japanese Project for International
Co-ordination of East-Asian Spoken Language Resources
and Evaluation. Co-operation with other organisations is
currently being sought.
CONFERENCE AIMS
In the framework of the Information Society, the pervasive
character of Human Language Technologies (HLT) and
their relevance to practically all the fields of Information
Society Technologies (IST) has been widely recognised.
Two issues are considered particularly relevant: the
availability of language resources and the methods for
the evaluation of resources, technologies, products and
applications. Substantial mutual benefits can be expected
from addressing these issues through international cooperation.
The term language resources (LR) refers to sets of language
data and descriptions in machine readable form, used e.g.
for: building and evaluating natural language, speech and
multimodal algorithms or systems, software localisation
industries and language services, language enabled
information and communication services, natural interactivity,
knowledge management, electronic commerce, electronic
publishing, language studies, subject-area specialists and end
users.
Examples of linguistic resources are written, spoken and
multimodal corpora and lexica, grammars, terminology databases,
multimedia databases, basic software tools for the acquisition,
preparation, collection, management, customisation and use of
these and other resources.
The relevance of evaluation for Language Technologies is increasingly
recognised. This involves assessment of the state-of-the-art for a
given technology, measuring the progress achieved within a pro-
gramme, comparing different approaches to a given problem
and choosing the best solution, knowing its advantages and dis-
advantages, assessment of the availability of technologies for a
given application, product benchmarking, and assessment of sys-
tem usability and user satisfaction.
In the recent past, language engineering and research and development
in language technologies have led to important advances in various
aspects of written, spoken and multimodal language processing.
Although the evaluation paradigm has been studied and used in
large national and international programmes, including the US
DARPA HLT programme, the EU HLT programme under FP5-IST,
the Francophone AUF programme and others, particularly in the
localisation industry (LISA and LRC), it is still subject to
substantial unsolved basic research problems. The European 6th
Framework program (FP6), planned for a start in 2003, includes
multilingual and multisensorial communication as one of the
major R&D issue, and the evaluation of technologies appears as a
specific item in the Integrated Project instrument presentation.
The aim of this Conference is to provide an overview of the=
state-of-the-art,
discuss problems and opportunities, exchange information regarding
language resources, their applications, ongoing and planned activities,
industrial use and requirements, discuss evaluation methodologies
and demonstrate evaluation tools, explore possibilities and promote
initiatives for international cooperation in the areas mentioned above.

LREC98, in Granada, had 197 papers and posters presented,
with about 510 registered participants from 38 different countries
from all continents. Among these, the largest group came from
Spain (81 participants), followed by France (75), USA (73), Germany (47),
UK (43) and Italy (41). Registered participants belonged to over 325
different organisations.
LREC2000, in Athens, had 129 oral papers and 152 posters presented,
with more than 600 participants from 51 different countries from all
continents. Among these, the largest group came from Greece (117),
followed by USA (70), France (59), Germany (45), UK (43), Japan (35)
and Italy (29). Registered participants belonged to 319 different=20
organisations.
We anticipate a similar number of participants in LREC2002.
We therefore expect the exhibits at LREC2002 to have a large audience.
